"Access Express to Asakusa " is the most asked question, so let me explain a little more. This train is non-reserved seat only. The fare is around 1310 Yen to Tokyo city center depends on station you get off. 1) After arrival, proceed to the basement and you'll find 2 platforms "JR" and "Keisei". Go to "Keisei" one. This is the same process for both "Narita Airport" station and "Airport Terminal 2" station. 2) Purchase ticket or IC card on machine at Keisei station. Enter the gate. (You can install Suica / Pasmo on your Apple Pay if it works in your country) 3) Proceed to Platform NO.1. This is the same for both Narita Airport Statoin and T2 station. 4) Make sure you take the right train. Only 2 types of trains come to this platform No.1. Access Express(non-reserved seats) looks like subway, and Skyliner (reserved seats) -that all seats are facing front. ❗Access Express is the train local residents and workers take too. I couldn't find any English timetable, so I made a time table for the Access Express from Narita Airport Station. * Updated on April 2024 - KEISEI Narita Airport Station Time Table - SKY ACCESS (non - reserved seat train) to Oshiage - Asakusa * Stops at Terminal 2 station 3 min. after this time table. * This is NOT Keisei Skyliner with reserved seats. * This is NOT JR Narita Express / JR local trains time table.

If you are going to Haneda Airport, change at Sengakuji to the train to Haneda Airport. (if you get this, you have to change) * time with “T* Go to either Ueno or Takasago. Get off at Keisei Takasago and stay on the same platoform, take train towards Asakusa line which are trains EXCEPT bound for Ueno (Keisei Ueno). This may take some more time as it stops more stations after Aoto. Approximate time it takes in order of stop: Oshiage 54min. Asakusa 59 min. Shinbashi 70 min. Daimon 72 min. Shinagawa 81 min. HND 93 min.

[@tokyokenchan]

@@dario.l27 Hello. Thank you for watching. Access Express skips Higashi-Ginza, so you can get off at Nihonbashi and wait for the next train at the platform where you get off. Next train should come in 5 minutes. It's easy even if you have luggage. This is the best way to get to hotels in central Ginza area. :)

Being a first time visitor to Japan, I searched lots of videos/articles on how to differentiate between skyliner and sky access express on the platform.

HI Ken chan, thank you for your video. December 2022 will be my first time flying into Narita, all past 4 times have been Haneda. Thanks to your video i got to know about the access express and airport bus for the first time (i thought only limousine buses were available before this!). I think i will take the airport bus as i will use my JR pass later in my trip and it is more convenient in terms of luggage.

[@tokyokenchan]

Hi, thank you for your comment. That is exciting that you'll be back to Tokyo in December! Yes, the TYO-NRT bus service started after Narita's Terminal 3 opened. You are right about the luggage, it's great that the bus leaves from the arrival floor and arrives right in front of Tokyo station. I also talk about that bus in the recent Tokyo Station video at around 5:01. I wish you the best trip.

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello Edna san, thank you for watching the videos. Yes, if you are transferring to JR Yamanote line, Nippori is much closer so you'll see most of the passengers get off at Nippori. In case your final destination is Ueno, you don't have to get bothered to get off at Nippori, and just proceed to the last stop "Keisei Ueno", it's still connected with JR Ueno station underground. Tokyo Wide Pass is good when you make 2 or 3 day trips from Tokyo, and you can use for Narita Express too. :)

That's great you are visiting Japan for the first time! One idea is to take Access Express (non-reserved train bound for Haneda Airport) to Shinbashi station and change to Yurikamome, that way you need to transfer only once to get to Ariake station. Every 90 min. or so, the TYONRT bus goes to Shinonome Aeon, which is very close to Ariake, but you get stuck there, in case you cannot find a taxi. I recommend you to ask your accommodation too as they might have better idea. I wish you the best trip to Japan :)

[@tokyokenchan]

Narita Express, Keisei Skyliner, JR regular train (via Narita, Chiba to Yokosuka line) has restroom. For the bus TYO-NRT, most of the bus has restroom, but some buses don't come with restroom.

Hi Ken san, I bought a JR East Pass (Tohoku area) and my hotel is near the Asakusa station. If I used the JR Narita Express, how to go Asakusa station?

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello Wei san, there is no JR line in Asaskusa, so you might be able to take Narita Express to Tokyo station. There are no direct train from Tokyo statoin to Asakusa, so change to Yamanote line to Ueno, and change to Tokyo Metro Ginza line or go back to Shin-Nihonbashi station from JR's underground platform that Narita Express arrives and proceed to Mitsukoshimae station of Ginza line. (Tokyo Metro part needs additional ticket) There are several ways to go. :)

[@liamlee8422]

my flight will land at Narita around 17:00 a week from now. I looked at the NEX schedule, they only come every hour.. Is Skyliner a better option? I know I will need to transfer at Nippori's Yamanote line given my final destination is Shinjuku. Is a separate ticket required to transfer at Nippori? Thanks!

[@tokyokenchan]

For the Tyo-Nrt bus, The timetable says it takes 1 hour and 18 minutes. Runs every 15 minutes. You are right, Narita Express is 17:17, 18:15, 18:48, 19:12, 19:48… after 17:00. Nippori to Shinjuku you need JR ticket but you can get connecting ticket at Narita. If you have lots of bags, easier is Nex or Limousine bus to Shinjuku Bus Terminal.

Hi Ken, thankyou for the useful video. Giving me Many ideas for how to travel around Japan in my upcomign trip in December. I have a question about how you would suggest I get to Tokyo Station when We arrive late at 10pm. how would you suggest we travel into the Tokyo City becuase i think there will not be many options especially arriving so late. We have the JR pass

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello Mr.Wells, thank you for your comment. 21:44 is the last Narita Express, but JR counter to validate JR Pass may be closed by the time you arrive anyway. So if you are heading to Tokyo station, you might want to consider other options such as the bus or Skyliner, and validate JR pass next day or later. I cannot say clearly as schedule may change as the boarder opens, but if I have luggage and my final destination is Tokyo Station after 22:00, I would choose TYO-NRT bus. :)

Hello, thank you for your question. The best way from HND to NRT by train is KEIKYU since they have direct train to Narita Airport for 1730 Yen. It takes about 1h 40 m. It's not reserved seat train so many stops and people get on and off. Another choice would be the limousine bus. It runs every 20-30 minutes and 3200 Yen, takes about 1h 40 m or so. The good part of the bus is no body get on and off and cozy, but can get influenced by traffic of Tokyo. I hope it helps!

I’ve found another JR train which goes from Narita Airport Terminal 1 to Tokyo Station. It is DIRECT and costs 1340 yen. Go to JR train platform at Terminal 1, take Narita Line (Chiba-Kuko) Rapid (for Kurihama), train passing Chiba, stay on same train, no need to transfer, train becomes Sobu Line (Rapid, for Kurihama). Total ride takes 1hr 35min. However, such local and direct train schedule is infrequent and requires keen research. Could you clarify? If that alternative route is true, it’s still not convenient for most tourists to take because it’s intensely time-specific.

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello Mr.Chow, you are right. JR's local train can take you to Tokyo Station directly (round trip for 2684 Yen) too. It takes long and crowded with locals after Narita station (in Narita city), but probably you can get seats from the airport. As you mentioned, it's infrequent (every 30 min to 60min.) and takes 1hour and 30minutes to Tokyo Station, but I think it's a good transportation if you are going stations along the line.

[@felixchow5579]

Thanks KenChan for your reply. Looks like the TYO-NRT airport bus is more user-friendly to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station. I’ve reserved a hotel within walking distance from the Station at the Yaesu side. Where exactly is the arrival depot for the Airport Bus at the Tokyo Station? Is it the same as the departure depot by the Yaesu South Gate?

What’s about the Keisei Main Line Local train? I heard that it’s only operate just few rush hour and not full day, but then I check some website’s time table it does operate full day? Another question, is “Access Express” and “Sky Access” the same train/thing?

[@tokyokenchan]

Yes, Keisei main line runs from morning to night from different platform. That is the old route Skyliner used to use, but they opened a route "Sky Access" which is a short cut to Tokyo. So Skyliner started to use the new route. The new train "Access Express" also started using the new route. Keisei main line is not the fastest way, but it still goes around different route and goes to Ueno. Main Line meets with the Sky Access route at the station called Keisei Takasago. And one station after, at the station called Aoto, it separates to Keisei Main Line and Keisei Oshiage line. Skyliner use Main Line and goes to Ueno, while Access Express use Oshiage line to Oshiage station and directly goes into Subway Asakusa line. Hope it helps. Thank for the question.

Hello. Thank you for asking. I don't have much knowledge about the JR Tokyo Wide Pass, but as I looked into, Tokyo to Gala Yuzawa is 7220 Yen for reserved seats and round trip ticket from NRT to Tokyo is 4070 Yen, so it seems simple round trip of NRT-Tokyo-Gala doesn't cover the price of the pass.

Hi, let me explain about how to get to Oshiage by Sky Access (regular train without reserved seat). you proceed to the basement train station. You'll find 2 train stations (JR and Keisei).

Go to Keisei's Platform (Plat form No.1 for both Narita Airport station and Terminal 2 station) Both Skyliner and Access Express leaves from that platform, so make sure not to take the train that all seats are facing front.
